Chapter 9: The Knife Hand (Three Watches)
"Is that the guy who used to spy on No. 1 Black Street with a kind of geist?"
"Or is it the guy who has been here for a long time, ready to fish in troubled waters?"
The thought in his heart made Qin Ran rush in at a faster speed.
Shi Qi didn't say a word, and after checking the scratches on the lock of the courtyard door, he took out his gun and rushed into the two-and-a-half-story building in front of him after Qin Ran.
Although he knows that when facing some people on the mysterious side, firearms don't necessarily work.
But it's better than bare-handed, right?
However, as soon as Shi Qi entered the corridor, he saw Qin Ran squatting in front of a corpse, inspecting it.
"One step too late!"
"There are no more living people here!"
Qin Ran stood up and walked towards the other corpse.
In the building in front of them, there were three corpses, all of which were wounded by a knife in the neck.
Not a sneak attack, but a frontal attack.
Entering the [Tracking] field of vision would allow Qin Ran to see the footprints of the attacker in the corridor very clearly, so as to make an accurate judgment.
"The other party pried open the courtyard door, lifted the magic trap at the door, and then, rushed into it at a very fast speed, and killed the three of them with a knife before the three left-behind personnel could react!"
"The speed of the opponent and the speed of the knife are very fast!"
"It's almost time for the two gunmen to draw their guns!"
Qin Ran couldn't help frowning slightly when he thought that the first two corpses had a clenched grip on the handle of the gun, but he didn't have a chance to take out the pistol at all.
Because, he thinks he can't do it to such an extent.
At least, you can't hold the [Arrogant Words]!
Unless the three people attacked were very close.
However, the three bodies were not close, two in the hall and corridor downstairs, and the other at the staircase on the second floor.
Looking at the footprints remaining on the sofa, Qin Ran's mind immediately came up with the situation where the attackers killed the left-behind people on the first floor one after another, and rushed to the third left-behind person who had just appeared at the staircase on the second floor, and cut the throat of the other party before the other party could react.
It's neat and clean, leaving no room for life.
gave Qin Ran an extremely professional feeling.
"What a fast knife!"
Shi Qi's face changed drastically after a quick check.
Even, Shi Qi was more able to appreciate the horror of this knife hand than Qin Ran.
Because, he brought himself into the midst of the attacked.
Either way, he didn't seem to be able to pull out his gun smoothly.
Moreover, he recognized the two gunmen who had their throats cut.
They're all famous guys.
"These two guys are very famous gunmen on the West Coast, known for being fast, and disappeared without a trace about half a year ago! I thought I was ambushed by someone! I didn't expect them all to join the Curse Society! ”
Shi Qi pointed to the corpses of the two gunmen.
"What about this guy?"
Qin Ran pointed to the corpse located at the staircase on the second floor.
"I don't know!"
"I haven't seen him, he should be a new member of the Cursed Society!"
Shi Qi shook his head after carefully looking at the corpse for a long time.
"Is that so?"
Qin Ran groaned.
The other party was dressed in civilian clothes and walked out of the second floor, and there were two left-behind people on the first floor, no matter how you look at it, the identity should be more important than the identity of the two so-called famous gunmen in Shi Qi's mouth.
However, Shi Qi has never met each other.
And there are no traces of more exercise on the other party's body.
The palms and backs of the hands are very smooth.
"Is it the spellcaster?"
Qin Ran guessed, and then waved at Shi Qi.
"Follow me!"
"Help me check this guy, I always think there's a secret!"
Qin Ran told Shi Qi as he walked towards the end of the second floor, where there was a decorative table where vases were placed, and the afterglow of the setting sun was shining into it.
The white vase has an orange-red hue that bears a striking resemblance to the lacquer of the table below.
But in the field of vision of [Tracking], the most conspicuous thing is that there is still half a glove print on the vase, and the footprints of the attacker in front of the decorative table,
After Qin Ran checked it slightly, he raised his hand and put it on the vase, straining slightly.
Click!
With the rotation of the vase, with the crisp sound of machine springs, a door appeared on one side of the wall,
When the door was pushed open, a downward passage appeared.
Qin Ran walked down first.
After walking down about thirty steps, a secret room with the door open appeared in front of Qin Ran.
Qin Ran looked at the secret room behind the door, and at the same time signaled to Shi Qi for safety.
"When did the people of the Curse Society build such a secret room?"
Shi Qi, who walked down, looked around curiously.
From his puzzled tone, Qin Ran could be sure that No. 100 Ceylon Street did not have this secret room before, and besides, Shi Qi was very familiar with this place.
"We try to investigate as much as we can into any mysterious organization that comes into our field of vision - and the Cursed Society is no exception! By the time they bought 100 Ceylon Street, the structural drawings of the houses were already on my desk! ”
Shi Qi didn't wait for Qin Ran to ask, so he took the initiative to explain.
"You can see that your work is not thorough!"
Facing Qin Ran's evaluation, Shi Qi immediately showed a wry smile
And after Qin Ran's gaze swept over the dozens of books and many potions, alchemy, and spell-casting materials stacked in the secret room, his gaze locked on a table.
Judging by the placement of the table and the three chairs around it, this should be a conference table.
In the field of view of [Tracking], the footprints left by the attacker, after entering this secret room, went straight to this table.
Obviously, there should be something on this table.
It's a pity that the things on the table are long gone.
But he still left some information for Qin Ran.
"The other party is far more familiar with this place than expected!"
"The purpose is also extremely clear!"
"An acquaintance of the Cursed Society?"
Qin Ran thought about it and asked Shi Qi: "Among the people who have a good relationship with the Curse Society, or have a bad relationship, is there a person who is about 1.8 meters tall, has a strong physique, and is good at using knives?" ”
"Nope!"
"In fact, there are no such people on the entire West Coast -- occupations. Kill. Hand, black. Help. of thugs and so on, I counted them all. ”
"Of course, it's also possible that we haven't done our work thoroughly enough!"
Shi Qi said with great certainty.
However, immediately thinking of the secret room he was in, our Sergeant Shiqi immediately added a self-deprecating sentence.
Qin Ran didn't answer, he looked around the table in front of him.
Hope to find something useful.
But alas, the attacker was more cautious than he thought and did not leave anything of value behind.
Similarly, Shi Qi didn't find anything.
"We should call my colleagues."
"I'm in charge of what's happening here, but some reporting is still necessary!"
"And if there were more people, I think it would have been easier for us to search the whole house! You might even find out! ”
Shi Qi said.
"Wait!"
Qin Ran stopped it directly.
He, found something.
PS The third more ~
The decadent remnant party, although he worked hard to code the word, but still passed twelve o'clock......
Really powerless!
This was yesterday's third shift, and then, decadence rolled off to sleep! (To be continued.) )
